Osteoporosis causes millions of fractures worldwide every year, with hip fractures being particularly severe, leading to a 20-24% mortality rate within a year.

Even for those who survive, 4 out of 10 people are unable to walk independently, while the remaining 6 require continuous assistance with daily activities, which impacts their quality of life severely in old age.

The biggest challenge is that most people are unaware that they have osteoporosis, which makes them miss the opportunity for timely diagnosis and treatment. Especially, statistics show that 1 in 3 women over the age of 50 suffer from osteoporosis, highlighting its widespread prevalence in this group.

Many of these women are likely our mothers. To commemorate World Osteoporosis Day on October 20th, PROMEDIUS has prepared a checklist to help you assess the osteoporosis risk of your loved ones.
